Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods and arrangements in a telecommunication system to generate Interception Related Information related to location services involving a mobile subscriber/equipment who/which is target for lawful interception.
  • Intercept Related Information is defined as signaling information related to target subscribers, for example call establishment.
  • the sending of IRI to a monitoring function is triggered by the following call-related and non-call related events:
  • Appropriate session related and session unrelated events trigger the sending of IRI to a monitoring function in case of Packet Switching communication.
  • a Gateway Mobile Location center GMLC is the first node external Location Services LCS client requiring information, accesses in a mobile network.
  • the GMLC requests routing information, handles positioning requests and forwards location estimates to the Location Services client.
  • Mobile positioning enables an operator to provide location-based services to his customer. Position procedures that can be used to obtain the location estimate are:
  • Document WO 03/085936 discloses a method for obtaining and delivering mobile subscriber geographic location information for surveillance purposes.
  • Location-based services are forecasted to soon be one of the most important sources of operator revenue.
  • the position can be used to provide mobile subscribers with information and services that take advantage of the given geographical location.
  • the location estimates can also be used for charging and billing.
  • the present invention relates to problems how to integrate existing Location
  • the problems are solved by the invention by generating new properly structured Interception Related Information related to location-based services/information.
  • the problems are solved by methods and arrangements in a telecommunication system to generate Interception Related Information related to positioning activities involving a mobile subscriber/equipment.
  • the telecommunication system provides information to an Intercept configuration unit, collected from an Intercept Access Point that is associated to the monitored subscriber/equipment.
  • the method comprises the following steps:
  • FIG. 1 discloses a Public Land Mobile Network PLMN1.
  • the Network in this example is a GSM network and comprises a Gateway Mobile Location Center GMLC1 connected to a Mobile Subscriber Center MSC/VLR.
  • the MSC/VLR includes a Visitor Location Register in which mobile subscribers that are visiting the MSC control area are registered.
  • the Mobile Subscriber Center MSC/VLR is connected to a Base Station Controller BSC that is connected to a Radio Base Station RBS.
  • the RBS covers a radio cell CELL in which a mobile subscriber/equipment MSA is located.
  • the Base Station Controller BSC controls a group of Radio Base Stations (only RBS is shown in the figure), and the Mobile Subscriber Center MSC/VLR controls a number of Base Station Controllers (only BSC is shown in the figure).
  • the GMLC1 contains functionality required to support location services.
  • the GMLC 1 is the first node an external Location Services client accesses in the PLMN.
  • a Location Services Client LCS is schematically shown as directly connected to the GMLC1.
  • a Home Location Register HLR is connected to both the MSC/VLR and to the GMLC1.
  • the GMLC1 may request routing information to the mobile subscriber/equipment from the Home Location Register HLR, i.e. information about in which MSC/VLR the mobile is registered. Positioning requests are sent from the GMLC1 to the MSC/VLR. After registration authorization and possibly paging procedure, the MSC/VLR will handle the positioning procedure for the mobile subscriber, receive positioning information, and forward final location estimates to the GMLC.
  • An Intercept Configuration Unit ICU is connected to the MSC/VLR in this example.
  • the ICU is connected to the MSC/VLR via-three interfaces X1, X2 and X3.
  • the ICU and the interfaces will be further explained in figure 2 .
  • the Intercept Configuration Unit ICU is disclosed in figure 2 .
  • the ICU comprises at least one Law Enforcement Agency LEA (three blocks representing different LEAs are shown in figure 2 ).
  • Each LEA is connected to three Mediation Functions respectively for ADMF, DF2, DF3 i.e. an Administration Function ADMF and two Delivery Functions, a so-called second Delivery Function DF2 and third Delivery Function DF3.
  • the Administration Function and the Delivery Functions are each one connected to the telecommunication network via the interfaces X1-X3.
  • the ADMF is connected via the interface X1, DF2 is connected via X2 and DF3 is connected via X3.
  • the Administration Function ADMF is together with the delivery functions used to hide from the network that there might be multiple activations by the different Law Enforcement Agencies.
  • the messages sent from the ADMF to the network via the X1 interface comprise identities of the subscriber/equipment that is to be monitored, i.e. target identities.
  • the second Delivery Function DF2 receives Intercept Related Information IRI from the network and DF2 is used to distribute the IRI to relevant Law Enforcement Agencies.
  • the third Delivery Function DF3 receives Content of Communication CC, i.e. speech and data, and is used to distribute the CC to relevant LEAs. DF3 is responsible for call control signaling and bearer transport for an intercepted product.
  • Intercept Related Information IRI received by DF2, which also are called Events, are either call related or non-call related.
  • Intercept Related Information IRI is defined as signaling information related to target subscribers. Call establishment is an example of a call related event and Location Update is an example of a non-call related event.
  • the already existing events have been enhanced to include also monitoring of location-based services, i.e. information linked to positioning of a target subscriber/equipment. If a well specified positioning activity for a mobile subscriber/equipment occurs, an Intercept Access Point IAP, which in this first embodiment is the MSC/VLR, sends relevant data to DF2. This will later be explained more in detail. Examples of new different events-related to positioning activities are as follows:
  • Intercept Related Information be sent to the LEA together with the geographical position upon receiving the event MT-LR2.
  • FIG. 3 discloses a flowchart in which some more important steps are shown.
  • the flowchart is to be read together with the earlier shown figures.
  • the flowchart comprises the following steps:
  • FIG. 4 discloses a telecommunication system comprising a first Public Land Mobile Network PLMN1 which is the same network as was shown earlier in figure 1 .
  • the system also comprises a second Public Land Mobile Network PLMN2 comprising a Mobile Subscriber Center MSC2/VLR connected to a Base Station Controller BSC2 that is connected to a Radio Base Station RBS2.
  • the RBS2 covers a radio cell CELL2 in which the same mobile subscriber/equipment MSA that was located in PLMN1 in the first embodiment, now is located.
  • the home network of the mobile subscriber/equipment MSA is PLMN1, and PLMN2 in this embodiment is a visited network.
  • the Gateway Mobile Location Center GMLC1 in PLMN1 is acting as Intercept Access Point IAP, i.e. the Intercept Configuration Unit ICU is connected to the GMLC1.
  • IAP Intercept Access Point
  • a second Location Services client LCS2 is geographically located in the second Public Land Mobile Network PLMN2.
  • This second embodiment deals with requiring information about the MSA and since PLMN1 is MSAs home network, LCS2 has to go via GMLC1 to receive information about MSA.
  • LCS2 is schematically shown in figure 4 as directly connected to GMLC1. It is to be noted that the network configuration in the second embodiment is an example.
  • the invention applies also to a GMLC in PLMN2 or even located in a third Public Land Mobile Network, different from PLMN1 and PLMN2.
  • the LCS2 can be in whatever PLMN: it could be in PLMN1, PLMN2 or in another PLMN, different from PLMN and PLMN2.
  • the Intercept Access Point IAP may for example be another node type than the ones in the described embodiments.
  • the Intercept Access Point can for example be a Serving GPRS Support Node.
  • the invention is applicable in both circuit switched (connection oriented) and packet switched (connection less) networks.
  • the disclosed GSM network/access in the described embodiments is just an example of a network/access that can be used. Other examples would be a 3G WCDMA network, IP Multimedia Subsystem and Wireless LAN access.
